Nathan Coley
We Must Cultivate Our Garden
No.9 worked with Evergreen Brick Works to use art to bring awareness to environ-mental issues. Evergreen Brick Works is a community environmental centre that inspires a sustainable lifestyle. It is nestled in the Lower Don Valley, Toronto’s largest underutilized green space. WMCOG is situated to stimulate the publics’ curiosity and imagination.
In its inaugural installation in this exciting partnership, No.9 exhibited Scottish artist Nathan Coley’s We Must Cultivate Our Garden (WMCOG). Coley’s work investigates how built environments influence collective behaviour and outlooks. The large format illuminated text installation has traveled and been exhibited internationally over the past few years. A few installation sites include in Florence, Edinburgh, Paris, Stockholm, and Perth.
